Take photos and make memories with your friends! “A Glimpse Into Home” is inspired by the simple act of looking out your window and waving to a neighbour. It’s a quiet reminder of togetherness and community, tucked away in a corner of YIH. It brings people together – a memory etched into the four corners of a photograph.
The photobooth is inspired by my personal experiences of waving to my friends from my hostel window, connecting people who used to be strangers to a home on campus. With influences from traditional Peranakan shophouses and the flora and fauna from Ridge View Residential College, I hope its bright and colourful design would make your photos at YIH extra special.
This photo booth was constructed as part of the YIH Reopening on 15 Oct 2025. It will remain at YIH until 31 Dec 2025. Students are encouraged to visit it, view the tiles up-close, and take photos with it.
About the artist
Chantel Ong is a Year 3 Information Systems student and the designer behind the photobooth. “It’s extremely exciting to see my summer passion project come to life and I’m looking forward to the memories that would be created with it.
